mitosis

Question 1

cell cycle

Answer 1

when cells in an organism go through a cycle of growth, development, and division.

Question 2

mitosis

Answer 2

the process by which a parent cell divides into two identical daughter cells.

Question 3

interphase

Answer 3

the stage of the cell cycle between periods of mitosis in which the cell grows.

Question 4

prophase

Answer 4

the first phase of mitosis during which chromosomes condense and the nuclear membrane start to disappear.

Question 5

metaphase

Answer 5

the second phase of the mitosis during which chromosomes line up along the center of the cell.

Question 6

anaphase

Answer 6

the third phase of mitosis during which each chromosomes is pulled apart by spindles fibers and the resulting daughter chromosomes are pulled to opposite sides of the cell.

Question 7

telophase

Answer 7

the fourth and final phase of mitosis during which a nuclear membrane forms around chromosomes on opposites of the cell and the chromosomes become unwound DNA in a newly formed nucleus.

Question 8

cytokinesis

Answer 8

a stage of the cell cycle during which the cell membrane pinched in and the cytoplasm divides into two daughter cells after mitosis.

Question 9

centriole

Answer 9

an organelle found near the nucleus in the animal cells that form the spindle fibers that pull chromosomes apart during

Question 10

chromosome

Answer 10

the part of the cell that contains genes

Question 11

DNA

Answer 11

the chemical found in cells that is the main components of chromosomes and carries genetic information.

Question 12

centromere

Answer 12

a structure that holds the sister chromatids together

Question 13

sister chromatids

Answer 13

two identical chromatids that make up a duplicated chromosme.

Question 14

daughter cell

Answer 14

the result of the cell cycle where two genetically identical cells are formed
